Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen ) novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49 

Mia had to admit that she’d done it on purpose. She held her trophy tightly when she noticed that Timothy’s back was to her. It seemed he hadn’t turned to look at her, nor was he bothered by her earlier actions. 

Mia retracted her gaze and caught Maya approaching them. She didn’t seem to be looking at Mia, though. Her gaze was fixed on Liam. Did they know each other? 

Maya greeted Liam with a smile. “I didn’t expect to run into you here.” 

Liam sounded cool and distant. “The world can be a small place.” 

Maya wanted to say something else, but Liam didn’t give her the chance to.” Let’s go, Mia.” 

Mia didn’t think there was any need for her to remain there. It would be good to head home earlier. She wasn’t too used to wearing heels and almost twisted her ankle as she walked. Liam held her up by the arm. “Slow down.‘ 

“Okay.” She linked arms with him; it made her feel more secure. She didn’t want to embarrass herself by slipping and falling. 

When they got to the entrance, the paparazzi swarmed them again. “Mr. Lane, are you and Zoe currently dating? How long have you two been together?” 

“Mr. Lane, did Zoe drop out of the competition three years ago for your sake?” 

Mia hadn’t expected the paparazzi to still be around. She’d never experienced something like this before and couldn’t help feeling scared. 

Similarly, Liam hadn’t expected the paparazzi to be so persistent. He’d come alone tonight without his bodyguards or manager. He could only shield Mia behind him so that she wouldn’t get hurt. 

Timothy didn’t look too pleased when he saw the paparazzi standing in Liam and Mia’s way. At this moment, Maya said, “It looks like Liam’s serious this time. It’s no wonder Dominic was willing to help.” 

Timothy lowered his gaze. “She won first place with her skill, not some 

underhanded tricks.” 

Maya realized she’d had a slip of the tongue. She hurriedly tried to salvage the situation. “This really was an accident, Tim. I didn’t expect there to be a mix–up between the first and last places.” 

Timothy had been watching the entrance this whole time. He said to Heath coldly,

Honestly, he was mainly irritated by Liam and Mia. After giving the order, Timothy strode toward the entrance. Maya remained rooted to the spot. She wanted to chase after him but didn’t have the nerve. She’d really messed up this time. 

Shelly hurried over to her, still looking like she was in disbelief. “Maya, is Mia really Zoe?” 

Maya paused. “I’m not sure, really. Zoe’s never revealed what she looks like, and there’s nothing about her on her official website. Many people have tried to link themselves to her over the years.” 

Shelly snorted. “That’s what I thought. Mia must be faking it. For all we know, she could’ve paid someone to get those designs done! I can’t believe how obnoxious she was earlier, demanding that you present the award to her and everything. God, I was furious.”
